The book tells the story of John Winzer, a young orphan boy who is taken in by the local parish in North Devon, England. Despite his difficult upbringing, John is a devoted Puritan and strives to live a pious and righteous life. As John grows older, he becomes an apprentice to a local blacksmith and begins to gain a reputation for his hard work and moral character. However, his steadfast beliefs and refusal to conform to the Church of England's teachings make him a target for persecution and ridicule.
